When you do something good you're rewarded, is what Joe Muré said when, asif in a movie, it began to snow just as Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived at the annuallighting of the Little North Pole at Beach 144 Street and Neponsit Avenue lastSaturday evening. In addition to bringing the spirit of Christmas to theRockaways, the lighting of the Muré home is a fundraiser for the JuvenileDiabetes Research Foundation and The Children's Diabetes Center at PeninsulaHospital.
